Wrapping paper.

1st January, the most depressing day of the year.

7. Do you have a Nativity scene?
No.

8. Hardest person to buy for?

Dunno.

11. Mail or email Christmas cards?

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No.

Morning. This year, as with the previous two, with shaky hands: I'll be dreadfully hungover.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Appeals to remembering the 'true meaning' of this time of year.

I like a lot of it, actually. People seem to lower their intolerance levels; it's all "All the best" and that.

I haven't asked for anything. I did want my girlfriend back, but I seem to be getting over that just at the right time...
